Y'know, if there was any justice in the world, the only
edict to come down from the Meese Commission hearings would
have been for a three-year moratorium on adult movies set in
hospitals. Let's face it, we've seen every combination of
doctors, nurses and patients imaginable, and Candy
Stripers III adds nothing new to this dreary diagnosis.

When a big city hospital is crippled by a nurses' strike,
head medico Eric Monti goes to the logical place to look for
replacements, a strip-tease club, where he recruits dancers
Siobahn Hunter and Nina Preta as candy stripers. This "fresh
blood" comes not a moment too soon, as the hospital receives
three new patients; mobster Ron Jeremy, soap opera producer
Ashley Moore and sex-crazed actress Cassandra Leigh. Well,
before you can say "what's the prognosis?", these angels of
mercy administer to their charges while head nurse Barbie
Dahl gets into intensive "negotiations" with the hospital
staffs... er, staff.

Taken individually, some of the sex sequences hold up quite
well, particularly Jeremy's hot tub encounter with "girl
Friday" Andrea Sutton that leads to his hilariously
overplayed heart attack scene, as well as Dahl and Monti's
unique "tit for tat" labor relations. Unfortunately, one must
sit through a mediocre story with little momentum between the
scenes. And what's worse, Candy Stripers III
(surprise!) has no connection whatsoever to the first two
films. Maybe a little more "intensive care" would have
helped, but the outlook for this patient isn't good.
